Dear Sirs,
We act as Solicitors to Mr. Fasetire Taiwo (our Client) of No. 42 Adeoye Adeyemi
road Maryland Lagos, and have his instructions to lodge this complaint in respect of
the fraudulent misrepresentations to obtain financial gains by means of false pretense
and stealing of our client's funds in the sum of N1,100,000.00( One Million One
Hundred Thousand Naira) by a certain Mr. Kelechi David Nwanga (the "suspect")
who represented himself as a reliable home agent to our client, however, the same
turned out to be a veil of fraud; with which the suspect subsequently defrauded our
client of his hard earned money in the sum of N1,100,000.00 (One Million One
Hundred Thousand Naira) only.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1. Sometime in March 2024, our Client who is a business man arrived in Nigeria and
was in search for an apartment he could inhabit for a period of 6 months during his
stay. It was then that he encountered the suspect on a site for renting and buying
properties( Nigeriapropertycentre.com). The suspect further introduced himself to our
client as a reliable “premium” home agent. Upon the said introduction, our client and
2
the suspect got talking thereafter and the suspect further elaborated on the services our
Client would enjoy on reserving the apartment for a period of 6 months at a rate of
N900,000.00( Nine Hundred Thousand Naira) only for each month; thereby summing
up to a gross total of 4,600,000.00( Four Million Six Hundred Thousand Naira) only.
Our client was assured that in a situation where the apartment becomes unavailable, a
refund will be promptly made.
1.2 Further to the above, our client agreed to pay a total sum of N1,100,000.00( One
Million One Hundred Thousand Naira) only into the bank account provided by the
suspect. The said sum was paid into an OPAY Bank with Account number: 8176232450
( In the name of Mr Kelechi David Nwanga) on 20th March 2024.
[Kindly find attached the payment receipts of the said sum of N1,100,000.00( One
Million One Hundred Thousand Naira) for your kind perusal].
1.3 Subsequent to the payment of the said sum, The suspect alleged the apartment has
been occupied by another individual and consequently, a refund will be made to our
client on or before 15th April 2024. Our client thereafter made persistent calls and
forwarded several messages to the the suspect but unfortunately, the suspect failed,
refused and neglected to take our client's calls nor responded to the messages. On
times that the suspect picked our client’s calls, the suspect gave blatantly ridiculous
excuses as to why a refund couldn’t be made accordingly. On one accession, the
suspect accused our client of shooting the suspect’s arm with a gun. It was then that it
dawned on our client that he has been criminally defrauded to part with his hard
earned money with intent to be permanently deprived of the same by the suspect.
1.4 In a bid to recover his money, Our client approached the police at the Enugu State
Command, however the command are yet to get the suspect apprehended.
We anticipate your co-operation in this regard and we further confirm our availability
to answer any questions that you may have.
